A 46-year-old man was sentenced to 41 weeks imprisonment in Dhekelia after being found guilty of Grievous Bodily Harm (GBH), the British Bases announced on Friday morning.
He was arrested on August 22 for seriously injuring a female colleague while working in a field in the Trachoni – Ypsonas area within the SBAs and was remanded in custody until trial.
The woman, also Vietnamese, suffered a ruptured spleen and broken ribs and was admitted to Limassol hospital for five days.
“This was treated as a serious incident where a detailed investigation was carried out and a desirable outcome was met,” Detective Inspector Tony Demetriou of the SBA police said.
“Violence against women is a global concern and this outcome displays the SBA police’s dedication and commitment towards detecting such crimes and bringing such offenders before justice”.
